C              G
See in me the side of you
         C                G
That sometimes makes you jump with fright
 Em          D                   B7       C
Smiler with knife, it's your big night

C                G
Sinking bed all warm and clean
 C            G
Only sadness waits for me
 Em          D                 C      G    E7
Smiler with knife, you're just in time
       Am       C
You're just in time


[Verse 2]
nc          G
Press the blade against my skin
 C             G
Never to make love again
 Em          D             B7      C
Smiler with knife, it's alright

C                   G
Surrendered will, I am before you
C            G
I am sick to death of life
 Em          D   C       G  E7 Am
Smiler with knife, alight
 C
Alight

[Verse 3]
 C                      G
If such things weren't meant to be
 C                      G
Then they would never come to me
 Em     D              B7    C
Smiler, oh don't worry so

C                     G
Slamming one shots, gentle pain
C                G
Someone calling out my name
 Em     D           C  G  E7  Am
Sex and love are not the same
Am           C
Are not the same

[Verse 4]
C                   G
Time has frittered long and slow
C            G
All I am and was will go
Em         D          B7      C
But where to and why now?

C                   G
When my last breath falls away
C                       G
Smiler, trust me when I say
 Em     D     C  G   E7
"You'll be okay"
 E7     Am      C
"You'll be okay"
